sorry for the big print,,,,,,,,,my eyes are not what they used to be.

so what you are saying is that the new ones were not better than a pair that was 9 years old, I would venture, the klipsch speakers are not the same now as they were 9 years ago either. If they were, you would wonder why they were so expensive now compared to then.

there is no best of the best, there is always something better, but you would not pay the price for the "best". there is a best of the best within reason, or they do not sound bad (and many do). ultimately its all up to your ears, not theirs. and who is to say you do not have hearing problems that the tester did not. or visa versa.

use equalizer in the sound software, adjust it to account for your space and hearing. if your eyes are not the same as they used to be, neither is your hearing. having worked around loud machinery all my life my hearing isnt what it used to be either.

The Klipsch promedia 2.1 speakers are still available new......the same model that i bought 9 years ago.......for $149.00......I bought the corsair speakers SP2500 through amazon for $199.00 plus s/h.
I am not saying the corsair are not good speakers......i am just saying the klipsch are a little bit better and at reduced price.
Yes, my hearing is very good......i can hear when someone pulls in my driveway before my kids do......my eye sight is not what it use to be (i now where eyeglasses).
Peace...........
